I Lost On Jeopardy Lyrics By Weird Al Yankovic

    is don in the booth
    he’s ready
    ok here we go loosen up camera two cameras one and three that’s fine in five four three two
    cue lights music
    now entering the studio are today’s contestants
    this is mr millard snopkin from carbondale illinois
    and this is mr leroy pinkelstein from brooklyn new york
    and this is alfred yankovic from lynwood california
    these three people will compete today onjeopardy

    i was there to match my intellect on national tv
    against a plumber oh and an architect both with a phd
    i was tense i was nervous
    i guess it just wasn’t my night
    art fleming gave the answers
    oh but i couldn’t get the questions rightightight

    hook
    i lost on jeopardy baby
    oooh
    i lost on jeopardy baby
    oooh

    oh well i knew i was in trouble now
    my hopes of winning sank
    because i got the daily double now
    and then my mind went blank
    i took potpourri for one hundred
    and then my head started to spin
    well i’m givin’ up don pardo
    just tell me now what i didn’t win
    yeah yeah

    hook
    i lost on jeopardy baby
    oooh
    i lost on jeopardy baby
    oooh

    that’s right alyou lost
    and let me tell what you didn’t win a twentyvolume set of the encyclopedia international
    a case of turtle wax and a year’s supply of ricearoni
    the san francisco treat
    but that’s not all you also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people
    and you brought shame and disgrace on your family name for generations to come
    you don’t get to come back tomorrow
    you don’t even get a lousy copy of our home game
    you’re a complete loser

    don’t know what i was thinking of
    i guess i just wasn’t too bright
    well i sure hope i do better
    next weekend on the price is rightightight

    hook
    i lost on jeopardy baby
    oooh
    i lost on jeopardy baby
    oooh

    i lost on jeopardy
    baby
